A farmer once went to the county fair with a pumpkin that was the exact size and shape of a two-gallon jug. His pumpkin won the blue ribbon. When someone asked him how he grew a pumpkin to look like that, he said, “It was easy. As soon as it started to grow, I stuck it inside a two gallon jug – and here it is!” In the same way your life situation, your view of the world around you is shaped by the container you hold it in. Such beliefs can put a lid on potential. You might be a golfer who averages 90 for 18 holes. One day you’re on your way to a 70 at the 16th hole. You say to yourself, “This isn’t like me!” Hearing that, your subconscious makes sure you put the next ball into the woods or the sand. At the end of 18, you have your usual 90 average. “That’s more like me” you say to yourself. Your subconscious will work hard to match whatever you believe on the inside with what you see on the outside.
